The Fresher


Differentiation is probably one of the scariest things on earth. Not only the mathematical term which catalyses the excretory system of a certain people, but also certain things can not be differentiated. However, there is one thing on this earth that can be easily segregated from the rest with out a break in sweat. You don’t need to have great judgmental skills nor a great intuitive instinct. You also need not be a Sigmund Freud to understand complex psychology. You just need to understand what frantic fear and preposterous panic is on a face of a student.


Even if you are transported back to history through a time machine and put in a college in the 1970’ . you would be able to single out the fresher from the rest.


A fresher through all eras and generations is the same. He has a big bag which weighs almost as much as him and a lot of books in it which would help him start a library of his own.


He also carries a water carrier as he requires lot of fluid due to frequent visits to the washroom as a result of terror and alarm.


It is also quite common for a fresher to dress up in a way as if he was to attend a high profile meeting such as G-8 summit. Formal outfit is what the fresher wears which is so spic and span that would even put presidents and white collar professionals to envy.


A fresher’s forehead usually reveals his caste, sub-caste, sub-sub-caste and additional details. It is a thing that needs to be appreciated but unfortunately the forehead goes blank after few days as students think it is not cool to be following traditions in a place where people are fashion and fitness freaks.


A fresher combs his hair in such a way that the partition on his head is so vivid that would put neighboring countries into serious introspection. I wish countries were so beautifully partitioned. we wouldn’t have had border conflicts in that case.


A fresher’s neck is an amazing device which has miniscule degrees of freedom. It is always in constant motion checking out the college infrastructure and college woman’s structure.


The most distinct thing in a fresher across all cities and countries is the skepticism and apprehension on the face which clearly written. No matter what your language, religion , caste you are from, this is the expression you would have found hitherto.


The fact that he doesn’t know what is waiting for him makes the fresher even more timid.


It is an expression which would make you feel that the poor soul’s body is going to be crucified in a few hours time.


But the expression on their faces is justified, as they are put into an act similar to


One which laid Jesus to rest.


It is an unbiased act that would not spare the best from the rest,


It is a miser act that does not spare poor or rich,


It is an audacious act that does not spare influential tycoon’s kin,


It is a fair act that does not separate people as per their skin,


It is an antifeminist act that does not differentiate on the basis of sex,


It is a relentless act that would not allow the fresher to relax,


It is called RAGGING.

PROUD AND PREJUDICE


The prejudice call it the land of the snake charmer,
The proud calls it the land of the great farmer.
The prejudice call the country as poor,
The proud Knows there is improvement for sure.
The prejudice is adept in the game of blame,
The proud takes responsiblity on his name.
The prejudice thinks there is no deed,
When the proud knows there are lot of people whom they can help read.
The prejudice has spilt milk to cry,
The proud wake up and give it a try.
Some enjoy and relax,With out giving a damn for tax.
The Prejudice curse their fate,
The proud are happy to donate.
The prejudice often cross the sea,
The proud first explore the country's beauty.
The Prejudice criticize films and leave the makers with a scar,
But the proud brings back home an Oscar.
We did get a gold,
But there is more talent to mould.
Are we Goin to be Proud or Prejudice?
latter is an act of cowardice,
and former is the way to go,
Just Say " JAI HO".
